Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
■ A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of
where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.
See “Electrical Requirements”.
■ Hot and cold water faucets located within 3 ft. (900 mm)
of the hot and cold water ll valves, and water pressure
of 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.
■ Level oor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
washer. Installing the washer on carpet is not recommended.
■ A sturdy oor to support the washer weight (washer, water,
and load) of 315 lbs (143 kg).
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store washer where
it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below
32° F (0° C). Some water can remain in washer and can cause
damage in low temperatures. See your “Use and Care Guide”
for information on winterizing.

a 3 prong grounding plug.
■ To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet,
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the
properly grounded outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrician determine that

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVE SHIPPING BASE
AND PACKING RING
1. Remove shipping base
and packing ring
Place cardboard supports from shipping carton on oor
behind washer for support. Secure the lid with tape. Using
two or more people, tip the washer onto its back and place
on cardboard supports. Remove foam shipping base. Then,
set washer back upright, and remove the tape from the lid
so that you can open the lid and remove the foam packing
ring from the washer tub.
NOTE: Keep foam packing ring in case you need to move
the washer in the future.
Before you start: remove shipping materials.
It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper
operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer.
NOTE: To avoid oor damage during installation, set the washer
onto cardboard before moving across the oor.
IMPORTANT:
■ Be sure the foam shipping base has been removed from the
bottom of the washer as directed in the “Remove Shipping
Base and Packing Ring” section.
■ If foam shipping base has not been removed, be sure lid is
secured with tape before laying washer on its back.
■ Removing the foam shipping base is necessary for proper
operation.
CONNECT DRAIN HOSE
IMPORTANT: Proper connection of the drain hose helps
to avoid water leakage and damage to your oors. The drain
hose is connected to your washer and is stored inside the
washer cabinet.
1.
Remove drain hose from washer
cabinet
Gently pull hose out of back of washer cabinet from top until
end emerges.
IMPORTANT: Do not force excess drain hose back into rear
of washer.

2. Connect drain hose form
CONNECT INLET HOSES
Insert new at washers
1.
A B
A. Coupling
B. Washer
For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, connect the drain hose
form. For a oor drain, do not install drain hose form. You
may need alternate parts with separate directions. See
“Tools and Parts” to determine what you may need.
Feed hose into one end of form. Bend hose and feed through
other side, anchoring form on smooth sections of hose. The
hose must extend 4 1/2" (114 mm) beyond the form.
3. Place drain hose in standpipe
4.5"
(113 mm)
Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side
of laundry tub.
IMPORTANT: To keep drain water from going back into
the washer:
■ Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose
should be secure but loose enough to provide a gap
for air.
■ Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry
tub.
Insert new at washers into each end of the inlet hoses.
Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
Connect inlet hoses to water
2.
faucets
Make sure the washer basket is empty. Attach the hose
labeled hot to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand
until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings
an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with the hose
labeled cold for the cold water faucet. Both hoses must
be connected for washer to work properly.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants
on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage
can result.
HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected
to hot water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly.
3. Clear water lines
Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry
tub, drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run
until clear. Check the temperature of the water to make sure
that the hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet
and the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
